The Offence (1973)
1972. Dans une banlieue grise et anonyme d'une grande ville d'Angleterre. Le sergent Johnson, un policier brutal et moustachu ayant 20 ans d'expérience, se lance aux trousses d'un violeur de fillettes. Très vite, un étrange individu est arrêté. L'interrogatoire se met en place. Commence alors, pour les deux hommes, une véritable nuit d'horreur…
